news: DID VASHTIE DESIGN A JORDAN MAKING HER THE FIRST FEMALE TO COLLABORATE WITH JORDAN?!

YES IT’S TRUE!!!

A few days ago it surfaced that I, VASHTIE, had designed a JORDAN!

Legally, I could make no admission to that fact – but, today that beautiful fact appeared on the JORDAN BLOG announcing that I had (indeed) designed a JORDAN 2. It has been the hardest secret I’ve ever had to keep, but having a bad memory also helps with hiding secrets ;)

I’m beyond ecstatic right now. Me?! Designing a JORDAN?! As in JORDAN!!! It’s not like JORDAN collaborates with just anyone. On top of that…

I AM THE FIRST FEMALE TO DESIGN A JORDAN!!!

I mean, then again…What other sneaker brand could be the first for me to design for! It’s a NO BRAINER…I’ve been known for being a JORDAN ROCKING FOOL since before I’ve been noted for anything else in my career!

++++++++++

(MORE INFORMATION ON THE DESIGN PROCESS AND COLOR STORY SOON!!! IT WILL BE GREAT!!! I PROMISE)

    The shoe looks fresh your take is a bit misleading. The blog never mentions you designing and really it seems u chose a color. Either way, the color combo is dope!

    Sweetheart… You picked a colorway

    You didn’t create the last & cut the pattern damn.

    It’s Jordan II, it’s been “designed” haha…

    Congrats on it though, I guess it’s a pretty big deal for JB to let someone collab on a colorway!

    Can you imagine somebody claiming to have directed a video when in fact they simply contributed to the choosing of its shoot location?

    Congratulations Vashtie! This is beyond awesome and very much a match made in heaven.

    Jordans were so major in Albany. If you got a pair from “the city” or a connect and wore them upstate before they came out, you were literally a superstar. That brand has had so much impact on our culture, and the fact that they linked up with you for the shoe is definitely an accomplishment to be proud of.

    I’ll be getting a pair. My favorite color, too :) Look forward to many more dope collaborations.

    It is great a female got to design the first woman jordans but I’ve seen the sneaker and am sorry this sneaker is ugly….I showed it to my teenage daughter which she is a jordan fanatic…she also sez its ugly that the original look is better…..I think it soon b more lady like looking….but this its just our opinion…..
